Description
The Starry Messenger by Kenneth Lonergan is a poignant exploration of love, hope and the mysteries of the cosmos. Against the vastness of the universe, three individuals navigate their own struggles: Mark Williams, tired of his marriage and job; Angela Vasquez, a young single mother training to be a nurse; and Norman Ketterly, fighting for his life in a cancer ward. Their stories intertwine under the stars, a reminder of the beauty and fragility of life on Earth. As their paths converge, Lonergan masterfully weaves together themes of human connection and the search for meaning in a vast and often incomprehensible world. Premiering in New York in 2009, The Starry Messenger received its UK premiere at Wyndham's Theatre, London, in May 2019.
